In my current job, I am responsible for keeping the records of over 100 employees. With regard to payroll and hours, I ensure accuracy by applying the following practices: I methodically deal with one department at a time. This helps me ensure that I apply each pay grade to the proper employee. Then, I always work through the files alphabetically and keep to dealing with one person's files at a time. When I complete one set of records, I move on to the next only after thoroughly reviewing and saving the first set. By staying organized in my approach, I have a very good history of accuracy in all record keeping matters.
